"I am pleased to announce today that the FBI and the Ohio Attorney General's office reviewed these boxes nearly two weeks ago and found absolutely no wrong-doing on the part of me or my office,'' said Winburn. The boxes have been returned to Winburn; and he had them laid out in front of him as he spoke to the media and his supporters. Winburn was critical of City Solicitor Paul Boggs Muething, who called in Cincinnati police officials in December after a member of the janitorial staff found the boxes in a closet in the basement of city hall. There was concern that the boxes might contain public records that need to be preserved by law. But the staff member who put them there, Rosalind Fultz, insisted there was nothing in the boxesState And Federal Investigators Have Cleared Me, Winburn Sayshttp://wvxu.org/post/state-and-federal-investigators-have-cleared-me-winburn-says

He was in Cincinnati Friday to deliver opening remarks at the Ohio FOP annual conference. “I think if you talk about the state of law enforcement, it is strained in this state,” DeWine said. “There are probably fewer people in most departments than were there 5 years ago.” DeWine said most of that strain comes from budget cuts that have reduced or capped the number of police officers in many communities. He said his department exists to help local law enforcers. “I’m just here to thank them for the great job that there doing,” DeWine said. “And talk about our continued working together and our cooperation to help protect Ohio families, which is really what our whole job is.” DeWine said the AG's office has been working to increase DNA sampling, testing rape kits that have been sitting on some police departments shelves for nearly 20 years andOhio AG speaks to Ohio FOP conferencehttp://wvxu.org/post/ohio-ag-speaks-ohio-fop-conference

Monday, his campaign filed papers with the Ohio Secretary of State's office, so he can begin raising money for the 2014 campaign; and has launched a campaign website. Pepper, who was in Cleveland Monday, told WVXU he wants "to be a real advocate for the working people of Ohio." He also said he would make the attorney general's office "less ideological, less political" than DeWine - citing a recent letter by the Republican attorney general in which he said he supports exempting private employers, if they object on religious grounds, from providing contraceptive coverage to employees. Pepper's candidacy is no real surprise - Ohio Democratic Party leaders have been touting Pepper as a candidate for statewide office in 2014 for several months. And Pepper himself has been traveling the state, meeting with Democrats and others, ever since the 2010It's official - Pepper is a candidate for Ohio AG http://wvxu.org/post/its-official-pepper-candidate-ohio-ag
